Burning Moscow

With the shouts one after another, the commanders living in the houses opened the doors and ran out, running along the street towards the entrance of the village. Several officers ran while shouting: "Combat alert, everyone immediately enters the position. "

　　 I saw hordes of officers and soldiers running past me, rushing to the fortifications at the entrance of the village. I couldn't help but stop, thinking to myself: They don't look like they are about to surrender. Could it be that I misunderstood General Vlasov? Maybe I should stay and take the gun and fight with them.

　　 Just when I was uncertain, several people ran past me. There were five people, one officer and four soldiers. They were all bare-handed and without weapons. The officer ran and waved his hands and shouted loudly: "Stop all, no shots! Stop all, no shots!"

　　 My heart sank when I heard the officer shouting like this. Why are you not allowed to shoot? Do you let the officers and soldiers stand there obediently, waiting for the Germans to come and capture the prisoners? It seems that I did not misunderstand Vlasov, he is indeed about to surrender to the Germans.

　　 I was only thirty meters away from the entrance of the village, and I could clearly see that the commanders who had entered the fortifications and aimed their guns at the outside of the village were all at a loss when they heard this inexplicable order. But since it was an order from a higher level, they could only be executed honestly. They put down their guns, stood up from the trenches, and looked at the people who ran towards them.

　　 The Germans outside the village were slowly approaching under the cover of tanks. Perhaps because the two sides had an agreement in advance, they just pushed into the village without firing.

　　 Seeing that the Germans were getting closer and closer, some impatient soldiers in the trench shouted: "The Germans have come up, why can't we shoot? Wait any longer, we will be prisoners."

　　 "No shooting! Repeat again, no one is allowed to shoot!" The commander who sent the order said loudly. Then a soldier who passed by with him took out a white cloth from his body, hung it on a bayonet-mounted rifle, held it high, and waved it desperately at the German army.

　　 The German tank stopped more than a hundred meters from the entrance of the village and pointed the muzzle of the black hole at us. Those German infantrymen probably understood that the defenders in the village had given up resistance and were waiting for them to be surrendered, so they all seemed very relaxed, each holding their guns or carrying their guns on their shoulders, and came over unhurriedly.

　　 I know that if I wait in the village, I can’t escape the fate of being captured again. It is shameful to be captured once, and if I were captured again, I might as well die. But now I am holding Lida's son Alik and cannot easily die, so my mind is spinning quickly, thinking about how to escape from here.

　　 I think of in the movie, seeing those commanders who have been defeated, usually put on the clothes of small soldiers or ordinary people, and finally managed to escape successfully. I looked down at the tattered military uniform on my body, and decided to take a risk. I lifted my hand to unfasten the hair bun at the beginning, untwisted my hair, and tore off the rank on the collar badge. I carefully put in my pocket and put it together with the medals wrapped in steps.

　　 I hugged Alik and walked towards the entrance of the village with my head down. The attention of the commanders gathered at the entrance of the village was focused on the Germans who were getting closer, and no one noticed me at all. It wasn't until I walked out of the village to meet the Germans that I heard someone exclaiming from behind: "Hey, it's dangerous ahead, come back! Come back!!!"

　　Since I have left the village, I have no plans to look back. I was betting that the Germans would treat me as an ordinary citizen, and Alik in his arms undoubtedly increased the odds of winning this kind of gambling.

　　 I walked towards the Germans, and they were also coming towards me. After a while, I would face them face to face. The young German soldier in front of me just looked at me with a strange look, then tilted his body slightly and let me pass by him. Then the soldiers behind also gave me a way. Perhaps in their eyes, I was a Russian woman who wanted to escape in a panic.

　　 Seeing that I was about to walk next to the tank, a tank soldier commander who suddenly showed half of his body from the turret, pointed at me and shouted a few words, and then a few soldiers came and surrounded me. My heart beat faster, and I said to myself that I was over. It seems that today is doomed.

　　 Alek in his arms burst into tears suddenly and without warning, crying so sad that my heart was broken by crying. I patted his back gently, coaxed him quietly, and at the same time raised my hand to wipe the tears from his cheeks.

　　 Perhaps it was Alik’s cry that caused the tank soldier commander to change his mind. When he waved his hand again and said a few words, the German soldiers surrounding me dispersed.

　　 Alek only cried for a while when I was stopped by the Germans. When the German soldiers left, he stopped crying immediately and winked mischievously at me. Only then did I realize that Alek was crying so sad just now, but it was just a strategy he took to save me. He was really a little elf.

　　 Although no one interrogated me to stop me, but after I passed through the German offensive queue without any risk, I was shocked in a cold sweat, which wet the clothes on my back. Judging from the strength of the German troops, the village troops could not be held at all. It seems that Vlasov has some reason to say that the lives of the soldiers should be preserved.

　　 I dare not walk on the road, for fear of encountering other German troops, for fear that they are indiscriminate, but whether I am a soldier or a common man, I will shoot when I meet. I didn't dare to walk in the forest. If I got lost, I might starve to death in the forest. In the end, I took a compromise approach and walked forward in the woods more than 20 meters away from the highway. The advantage of this way is that I am not afraid of getting lost. Even if I find Germans on the road, I can avoid them in time.

　　 I walked south for four or five hours, and walked for about ten kilometers. My physical strength was severely exhausted, my steps became slower and slower, and my vision gradually became blurred. Alik sensed my discomfort and offered to take the initiative: "Mom, let's find a place to rest. I'm hungry and want to eat."

　　 I nodded, found a spacious place, put him down, raised his sleeves to wipe off his sweat, then took out paper from my pocket to wrap the rusks and handed it to Alek. As a result, he opened the paper bag, took a piece of rusks from it, and handed the rest back to me, saying, "Mom, I can eat one piece and you can eat the rest."

　　 I took the paper bag, and only took a piece of rusks, and then re-wrapped the rest and put it in my pocket, because I don’t know how long it will take to get out of danger, and I have to save the food just in case.

While 　　 was eating, he suddenly heard the roar of a tank motor from a distance. I hurriedly stuffed the bread into my mouth, pulled Alik and slumped behind a bush, staring at him in a low voice: "Alik, don't talk, or they will find out."

　　Alik also replied in a low voice, "I see, Mom."

　　The tank drove from south to north, and soon appeared in my field of vision. As the tank got closer and closer, I saw that it was a Soviet T-34. The tank was traveling very slowly. A commander wearing a helmet and a raincoat stood on it, holding the handle on the turret with one hand and the other. He was holding a binoculars to observe the surroundings, followed by two three-wheeled motorcycles, in which were all soldiers in Soviet uniforms.

　　Because of the previous experience of being captured by the traitor Layi posing as the Soviet army, even if I see these people in front of me are dressed up by the Soviet army, I still dare not act rashly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ for fear of repeating the same mistakes. At this moment, Alek excitedly said to me: "Mom, it is our own army." After that, he stood up, waved his hands desperately, and shouted: "Uncle soldier, here we are. Come and save us!"

　　 As he shouted, the soldiers on the tank turned their binoculars and looked at where we were. The two motorcycles behind also stopped, and the soldier in the car jumped out of the car, lay on the ground and pointed the gun at us.

　　 I was so frightened by Alik's behavior that I was afraid that those people would shoot, so I could only stand up honestly and hug Alik. Seeing that I didn't speak, Alik knew that he was in trouble, so he dropped his head on my shoulder and said nothing.

　　 I saw that the commander knocked on the turret a few times and stopped the tank. He raised his binoculars and looked at us for a while, then jumped out of the tank and ran towards me without hesitation.

　　 My heart is over, this time I'm really in a disaster, and I'm going to be a prisoner of the Germans again.

　　 The commander ran to a place five or six meters away from me, stopped, and asked loudly, "Hey, comrade female soldier, are you Major Oshanina?"

　　 can call out my name, it seems that these Soviet commanders are not impersonating. I hugged Alik and walked over, looked at the strange commander in front of me, and asked curiously: "Comrade Commander, do you know me?"

The commander saluted me and said: "Hello! Major Oshanina, I am Captain Boroda, the deputy of Commander Meretskov. I was ordered to find the headquarters of the 2nd Assault Army. Do you know where Commander Vlasov is?"
